Eight species are described from Ecuador (Napo Prov.) as new on the basis of specimens reared from their larvae. These are: Xoser astonyx n. sp., Orthocomotis parandina n. sp., Anacrusis yanayacana n. sp., Anacrusis guttula n. sp., Sisurcana sanguinoventer n. sp., Sisurcana cirrhochroma n. sp., Sparganothina hermosa n. sp., Lypothora roseochraon n. sp. Key words: entomology, taxonomy, Lepidoptera, Tortricidae, Ecuador, new taxa, Andes INTRodUCTIoN The Tortricidae fauna (Lepidoptera) of Ecuador is relatively well studied when compared with other andean countries. The results of the research conducted in the past show that the East Cordillera of Ecuador harbors the highest number of species. Until now, all the research material of neotropical Tortricidae used for studies was obtained in the field by the method of collecting adult moths that have been attracted to the light. No specimens were obtained by rearing them from larvae, or pupae. This paper is the first that is basing on specimens reared from their caterpillars. It adds more data to the overall knowledge of the Tortricidae of Ecuador supplement- ing faunistic lists of species knowing to occur in the East Cordillera (RAZOWSKI & WOJTUSIAK 2006, 2009). The specimens were bred in Yanayacu Research Station in Ecuador as a result of the research program aimed to study larval stages of Neotropical Lepidoptera.

  • (Tortricidae: Euliini) Injurious to Grapes and Stone Fruits in Chile
    Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society ,53 (2), 1999,60-64 A NEW GENUS OF TORTRICID MOTHS (TORTRICIDAE: EULIINI) INJURIOUS TO GRAPES AND STONE FRUITS IN CHILE JOHN W, BROWN Systematic Entomology Laboratory, PSI, Agricultural Research Service, U,S. Department of Agriculture, % National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C. 20560-0168, USA (e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT: Accuminulia, new genus, is described and illustrated from Chile. The new genus includes two species: A buscki, new spe­ cies (type species), and A longiphallus, new species. Accuminulia buscki has been reared from the fruit of grape (Vitis sp.; Vitaceae), plum (Prunus domestica; Rosaceae), apricot (Prunus armeniaca; Rosaceae), and peach (Prunus persica; Rosaceae) in Chile; the oldest specimen ex­ amined is an adult intercepted at the port of New York in cargo (grapes) from Chile in 1926. Several specimens of A buscki have been collected recently (1983) in traps baited with Proeulia-lure. The new genus is assigned to Euliini on the basis of its putative phylogenetic relationship to Proeulia Clarke. Additional key words: pest species, Neotropical, Euliini, systematics, Vitis , Prunus.
